Development and characterization of an Fv-1-sensitive retrovirus-packaging system: single-hit titration kinetics observed in restrictive cells

Abstract: We have constructed an RNA-packaging-deficient mutant of N-tropic murine leukemia virus WN1802N by removal of 330 nucleotides located between the upstream long terminal repeat and the start of the gag gene region. Transfection into mink CCL64 cells produced a cell line capable of packaging retrovirus vectors into ecotropic, Fv-1 N-tropic virions. Using retrovirus vectors that confer resistance to the antibiotic G418, we demonstrated that the magnitude of restriction in BALB/3T3 and SIM.R cells (both Fv-lb/b) a… Show more

“…Recently a host gene (Fv1) involved in controlling Friend retrovirus replication was cloned [100]. Of this Fv1 gene it was already known that it acts on Friend leukemia virus at a stage after entry into the target cell but before integration by direct interaction between the Fv1 gene product and the capsid protein [101][102][103]. The presence of the Fv1 gene product was shown to reduce viral titers up to 1,000-fold [104].…”

“…Although the multihit requirement for infectivity has been extensively documented, some investigators have reported single-hit infectivity in restrictive cells (16,29). We have recently described the development of an N-tropic (i.e., Fv-lb_sensitive) packaging cell line and have observed restriction (approximately 100-fold) in Fv-lb cells infected with a retrovirus vector produced by it (4). The titration pattern was always single-hit, in contrast to our experience measuring infectivity of N-tropic MuLV in restrictive cells using the XC plaque assay in restrictive cells.…”

“…The Fv-J N-tropic retrovirus packaging mutant provirus was derived from pWN41 (5), a molecular clone of WN1802N (14,22). The resulting packaging cell line, N-Pac, and the retrovirus vector conferring G418 resistance, RV-neo (provided by E. Linney), have been described previously (4). B-tropic MuLV was derived from pWB5 (5), a molecular clone of WN1802B (14,22).…”
